[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2285312, member: 68789"] I’ve been to two pharmacies and a garden centre since lockdown began and wore a mask and eye covering each time. We’re spending more online now that we can book delivery slots than we used to spend when I shopped selectively at various outlets, or when our neighbour did our shopping. But I’ve not filled up the car since just before lockdown. It was great when delivery slots were finally available as we could give our neighbour a break, and great when our daughter, who’s been teaching key worker children, believed she was no longer such a transmission hazard and also shopped for us. Unlike our GP neighbour she had no protection from PPE. I do miss being able to see what’s available and to choose by sight and touch rather than look at images and read ingredient and nutrition information. We’re both 70+ and I’ve had T1 for fifty years; we don’t know if we’d survive COVID or not, but without our asking, our GP neighbour offered to shop for us as soon as lockdown was declared - she’d seen stats and other information we didn’t have access to.
